Display blog summaries rather than full article
-
Hi,
I am using the Sela theme and would like my blogs to be displayed as summaries on my ‘post’ page rather than the full article. I’ve tried altering the Post Format but it makes no difference and I can’t seem to insert a ‘red more’ button during formatting.
Any hints would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there,
Your detailed theme description page with set up instructions is here https://wordpress.com/themes/sela/ The live demo site is here https://selademo.wordpress.com/
This is not a theme specific issue. The setting here > Settings > Reading is only for the RSS Feed summary and does not affect the posts.
There is no global setting. If you want to display only excerpts in posts on the front page of the blog followed by read more links, you can insert “the more tag” into each post prior to publication.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/Custom Read More Message
To customize the message, simply add a space after
<!–more, and turn it into something like this… <!–more But wait, there’s more!–>
The guide is here https://en.support.wordpress.com/more-tag/view-all/#custom-read-more-messageThe read more tag can be inserted once only into any post to change the front page or main page for posts display from full post to an excerpt. The split in the text does not display to you in preview mode but it will be there after the post is published.
Alternatively, you can switch to using a theme that automatically displays front page excerpts. This is a list of only SOME active themes on WordPress.com that use the excerpt instead of full post content. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/theme-with-automatic-excerpts?replies=13#post-1396410
